I can probably help you with this if you want.
Hey, thanks for the offer, but it's really not that important. A little piece of eye candy I thought would be neat. I went around looking at some themes last night and found a few I liked but when it came to actually being able to install them I fell a little short. Plus, getting the Conky manager up and running proved to be beyond my abilities. At most times I'm busy reading forums and using about 0% of my system's power, so I don't really need it. Just thought it would be fun to look at and a little project to take on.
I think you forgot to believe in yourself. It is quite easy. If you tackle it, once done, you will be surprised that you flinched at first. If you get to wanting to go for Round-two, feel free to start a thread and we will see get you fixed up.
I have been using Conky since I very first starting using Linux - so, if I could do it, you certainly can.

I believe in myself, but I also believe in my ability to get frustrated and start throwing stuff across the room. I used to sit for hours figuring out little problems back when I was a teen. I guess that's how I got into watchmaking. It's all about solving problems. But I definitely don't have that kind of patience any more trying to figure out computer related issues. I've definitely gotten used to "plug and play". lol
But I'm game. I still have Conky installed on my system. I'm going to find a theme I like and starting from "I have Conky installed but need to change theme", we'll see if we can get it running or not).

You have an option to get free or not. The perks you can get if you want the pro version, that thing isn't easy. I see on one post we only have 2 developers for Zorin OS and they are maintaining 3 version? Pro, Core, Lite. I wonder if they are sleeping enough, eating enough, having a work-life balance? How many did buy Pro to help the developers? Our professor said before, its easy to create but its hard to maintain a system. He's talking just a system like an ordinary monitoring or financial system. Our developers here maintaining an "Operating System". When I converted in our currency the price for Pro, it isn't match the price of Adobe Suite. Too low. Why do I compare? Adobe Suite is just a graphic manipulation software. Your computer can live without it. ZorinOS is an Operating system and your computer cannot live without Operating System.
I will pay for Pro but my laptop wants lite. Hahahahah. So, for now, it's in my wishing list. When I already have PC with good specs I'll get it. I want to enjoy it to the fullest when I have one. I can get core, right, but I really do support open source, especially those that prove their worth.

You are so right Rui! The Zorin team puts in a ton of work to make these releases. They are a bit slower to release them then I would like, but at least they are releasing great OS's. 
I really respect the fact that you wish to support the dev's, I am 
% with you for that. To answer your question, pretty much all the mods, including me, have bought PRO for sure, and so have many members.
BTW, please make a post in the Chat About Zorin forum that will be on the subject of your computer purchase. I love talking about hardware, and I am very curious about what kind of computer your planning on. This way we can keep from going off topic in this thread. lol

Zorin OS 16 LITE has not been released yet. Like I said, Zorins are slow to make releases, but at least they release good stuff when they do. One of the largest topics on the forum, is us folks asking, whens LITE going to get released? I got two funny threads I made on it.
I made one thread in October, and now I got one for November. I am trying to make one thread per month during the holidays. I am really hoping it will release by the time Christmas comes around. I couldn't think of a better Christmas present for Jeff.

Ah okay. Its the Zorin 16. I got confuse with Zorin 16 pro lite(xfce). I'm enjoying Zorin 15.
Zorin OS Ultimate (Zorin 15) or Zorin os Pro (Zorin 16) come with Ultimate / Pro Lite Included.
Zoris OS 16 Pro has been released already and when Zorin OS 16 Pro Lite is released, all current Zorin OS 16 Pro users will get an email with a free download link to Zorin OS 16 lite.
No pressure, by the way , Rui. I am just trying to ensure clarity on that topic.

As well as Direct Upgrade and... Zorin Grid.
I have no idea...
I bet they have elves.
Either way, when we get antsy about how long a release may take, it is worth remembering...

We have this one! Can donate in any amount. I think of this one because I don't need the Pro version feature but I want to donate, is there any other way and there is!

Correcto Mondo!
Keep in mind however, If you do buy PRO, you will also get PRO Lite when its released. Its up to you. But I am glad you found an option that you like.
elementary OS takes it a step further by supporting Application writers and offers you the choice of how much you want to pay for a suitable application:
